Summary "Last of the Great Scouts: The Life Story of William F. Cody ["Buffalo Bill"]" by Helen Cody Wetmore is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life of William F. Cody, famously known as Buffalo Bill, as recounted by his sister, providing a personal perspective on his character and achievements. The narrative spans Cody’s early life, detailing his family background, childhood experiences, and the environment that shaped him into the legendary frontiersman and showman he would become. The opening of the book sets the stage by introducing the reader to the Cody family and their homestead in Iowa, where William, the second son, is born into a loving yet challenging environment. Helen provides insight into their early family life, touching upon brother Samuel’s tragic death and their mother's hopes for William's future. As the narrative unfolds, the family embarks on a westward journey influenced by the Gold Rush, revealing the adventurous spirit that characterizes the Cody legacy. This section captures the essence of pioneer life, the family's struggles, and budding glimpses of William's burgeoning character as he encounters both danger and discovery on their way to a new life in Kansas.
